It is the 14th edition and the theme for this year is Youth.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>With all the news about Japan\u2019s rapidly ageing population and alarming headlines about the extremely low birth rate, one might wonder what is happening with the youth of Japan. That\u2019s exactly what CAMERA JAPAN wants to discover in this year\u2019s theme programme, which showcases films that are either made by or revolve around young people.<\/p>\n<p>As always we picked out five films you can&#8217;t miss during the event.<\/p>\n<h3>1.\u00a012 Suicidal Teens<\/h3>\n<p>When 12 teenagers gather in an abandoned hospital to commit suicide, they stumble upon the body of a dead boy. Together they must figure out if he has been murdered, and if so, who among them might be the murderer. Clever, thoughtful and emotional whodunnit that goes a lot deeper than similar films from the past.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u6620\u753b\u300e\u5341\u4e8c\u4eba\u306e\u6b7b\u306b\u305f\u3044\u5b50\u3069\u3082\u305f\u3061 \u300f\u4e88\u544a\uff084\u756a\u89e3\u7981\u5f8c\uff09\u3010HD\u30112019\u5e741\u670825\u65e5\uff08\u91d1\uff09\u516c\u958b\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H3SLFQvgfGY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/camerajapan.nl\/event\/12-suicidal-teens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>12 Suicidal Teens<\/em><\/a> (2019) will have its European premiere at CAMERA JAPAN.

Fly Me to the Saitama<\/h3>\n<p>There is some animosity between the city of Tokyo and the neighbouring prefecture of Saitama. Tokyoites see the Saitamese as poor peasants, while the latter see the city-folk as snobbish and stuck-up. In this crowd-pleasing, colourful modern fable, the class war between city dwellers and small-town folk is sharply, but lovingly, satirised.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fly Me to the Saitama (Tonde Saitama) international theatrical trailer - Hideki Takeuchi movie\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cyl3_Kvb_ng?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/camerajapan.nl\/event\/fly-me-to-the-saitama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Fly Me to the Saitama<\/em><\/a> (2019) by Hideki Takeuchi (Takeuchi Hideki) will have its Dutch premiere during CAMERA JAPAN and is based on the 1980s manga series of the same name.
